Not bad, now make a decent competing card for the desktop market.

I wonder if this is playing back a pre-rendered movie file, at a resolution of 480p or full HD res?

The characters dont cast any shadows!! Hopefully this is a early demo

Meh I see nothing special especially if this is something pre rendered Iphone has had graphics like this for how long now?

You been living under a rock? There been cards capable of that for years in the PC market. Only now have they managed to make the basic ones power efficient enough to be portable within the limited power budget a mobile device has to offer.

It can in no way touch the pc cards in performance, heck i bet the lowest budget card 3 years ago still outdo the best the mobile arena have to offer today.

Mobile gpu is good at one thing - render at minimum power. Desktop gpu is good at one thing, render gfx with maximum quality and performance. So compare them is hard since their task is so different.

I rather choose performance over limited power budget... on mobile devices you don't have the choice and rather have to live with poor performance and low quality renders.

@Rantoc: I believe what nforce was trying to imply is that since this company can make such a competitive mobile gpu, they should be able to make it bigger to compete with the desktop gpus. Really, all they are are bigger, less efficient mobile processors with large heatsinks.

They needed sold it because they needed liquidity.

Why would this need to be pre-rendered? Also, it's pretty obvious that this isn't a real game. It's just a "game demo". Think about it as a 3DMark "game demo". Lastly, AMD doesn't suck. You guys need to stop drinking the Intel kool-aid.
